    Well the site definitely works.

    Currently going through a extremely difficult time at the moment with my amazing cat that is dying of CKD/CHF.

    First video this site showed me is "A scene from the movie A Dog's Purpose (2017). A family's dog reaches the end of his life."

    Now I cant stop crying.

    I do find IMDB's ratings breakdown fascinating to explore, though.

    For example, you can look at the 50 Shades films or A Dog's Purpose or (especially) Gunday and have a pretty good idea that lots people are giving them bad ratings without having seen the films. (Their weighted average ratings are supposed to combat that, but they don't seem to be doing a very good job.)
